    About the Book

    Edit

    In 1989, a group of architectural students from The Catholic University of America and three students from the 'Ecole Nationale d'Architecture et d'Urbanism de Tunis traveled to the Island of Djerba in Southern Tunisia with their Professor Stanley Ira Hallet.



    With the valuable assistance of Professor Ali Djerbi, they spent one week documenting the extraordinary white mosques that dot the landscape of Djerba, thought to be the mysterious island of the lotus-eaters in the tales of the Odyssey.



    The resulting hand drawings document the intimate mosque structures where the profane, the poetic and the sacred exist side by side.
